Figured yu guys would get a kick out of this.Just a spur of the moment thing...

Imagine waking up to find you have rolled your hammock and are now laying on the clear mesh used only to keep out bugs; my friend was lucky enough to experience this on his first hang that happened to be this one 80ft up a tree.

Your buddy was lucky...a couple years ago I was using a Byers Mosquito hammock (with mesh and a zipper) and several of the support cords on one side snapped. They were tangled and were apparently bearing almost all the weight.

The end result was that I was stuck in my hammock with the seam between the hammock bottom and the mesh going right down the middle of my back. I couldn't reach the other edge of the hammock because it was almost 5-feet above me.

After about 10 minutes of struggling the sewn seam between the hammock and the mesh gave way and I fell 18 inches to the soft ground below me.

I cannot imagine waking up to find myself sleeping on mosquito netting 80 feet in the air (even roped in)!

Silly question - are the bugs bad enough that high that you needed to use the netting?

No the netting was not needed for bugs, just for sleeping on ;)I built the platform a while back, I have been playing in that tree all my life :)Climbing up is interesting, the first bit is all dead branches...I rope in most times I climb now adays.Glad you all liked it!
